Has anyone taken this drug and if so did it help? I was put on this med yesterday and was hoping it will help with the burning in my stomach. I know it's to treat ulcers. I'm not sure if I have one, but the burning is pretty bad to the point I don't wh

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and started having burning in my chest last night and it has gotten worse today. Im on a PPI for acid reflux. I'm still on the full liquid phase of the post op diet. I was told by surgeon just to take Tums or Maalox. My question is

Feeling down. Only a week and a half out and already at a stall. I haven't lost anything in over a week. Is this normal this soon out from surgery? I'm down 10 pounds from surgery weight which I'm so happy for, but didn't expect a stall this soon out.

I was having a hard time getting my liquids in until I discovered sugar free peach mango tea. Plain water just wasn't cutting it. I've tried other brands of sugar free drinks, but I didn't care for them. So glad I found one that agrees with me. It's cr

Had surgery on Monday and come home today.... I had a para esophageal hernia repair and VSG. I'm having minimal pain right now. Just scared now that I'm home something might go wrong. has anyone else gone through this? 

Had surgery Monday 11/7/16.  Went in with knowing I would have para esophageal hernia repair with the possibility of having either the VSG or RNY if the doctor didn't have to use mesh. Was told if he had to use mesh that he wouldn't do the wls at the s

This could postpone or end my journey. Went to see my surgeon yesterday for results of my UGI, and was floored by the results. I have a large paraesophageal hernia which may or may not need mesh to repair. I'm schedule to have surgery to repair it on 1

Hello OH Friends,

I'm looking for advice. I started this journey in February of this year with plans on having the VSG, but with recent test results from a UGI it looks like the VSG is no longer an option, and I'm going to have to have the RNY

I have to see a Hematologist before I have surgery on 9/26/16. Can anyone tell me what to expect during this visit. Thanks

I need help in finding a great wls surgeon that doesn't require you to have a IVC filter implanted before vsg surgery. I know the dangers of blood clots are a very big concern, but I also know there are ot

Just found out I've been approve for my VSG YAH!Seems like it took forever for doc's office to summit paper work for approval 2wks. In fact, but was approved same day it was summited. So stoked

I've turned in all paperwork to be submitted to insurance yesterday. I'm just concerned I might be turn down. I've seen posting where others have been turned down on here and was wondering if any had BCBS

Hi VSG Friends:
